When corn snakes are adults, you can generally make an educated guess on the sex of the snake by looking at its tail. Look at the vent and watch how the tail tapers. If it tapers real fast (goes from fat to small), its a female. If it tapers evenly, slow its a male. I would suggest getting a good corn snake book before trying. Just do a little research. Try Kathy Love's book. You can get it off of cornutopia.com. After you have done some research, make sure you watch them when you put them together. I have not had a problem with my males hurting each other, even with a female present, but that is not saying that it does not happen.
If you hae any breeders nearby, or an educated petstore they may sex them for you.
good luck
